The Platform is intended for Users who are at least thirteen (13) years of age. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information promptly.

3.2 Access Through Organizations

Students access the Platform through participating Organizations. Organizations are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from Guardians for Student participation in their programs, which includes use of the Platform. By enrolling in an Organization's program that utilizes LegitFuture, Guardians consent to their Student's use of the Platform in accordance with these Terms.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

4. Description of Services

4.1 Platform Overview

LegitFuture provides AI-powered college counseling services designed to help Students explore educational opportunities, understand application requirements, track progress toward college readiness, and navigate the college planning process. The Platform includes conversational guidance through Yuri, progress tracking tools, college research features, and coordination tools for Counselors and Guardians.

4.2 What the Platform Is Not

5. User Types and Access Levels

5.1 Students

Students have access to conversational guidance with Yuri, college research tools, progress tracking features, and their personal dashboard. Students' conversations with Yuri are private and are not accessible to Guardians, Counselors, or Administrators in transcript form, as further described in Section 8.

5.2 Guardians

Guardians have access to the family portal, which provides visibility into their Student's college planning progress. Guardian access includes:

• Progress indicators for applications, financial aid forms, and program requirements
• The Student's college list with application status
• Academic snapshot (GPA, test scores, course rigor)
• Engagement metrics (session frequency, last active date, current focus area)
• Important deadlines and action items requiring Guardian participation
• Educational resources

Guardian access does not include transcripts or detailed content of Student conversations with Yuri. This limitation is intentional and designed to foster a trusted relationship between Students and Yuri, enabling Students to engage openly in their college planning process.

5.3 Counselors

Counselors have access to dashboards providing aggregated and individual Student progress data, analytics, and Flare notifications. Like Guardians, Counselors do not have access to transcripts of Student conversations with Yuri. Counselors are responsible for acting on Flares in accordance with their Organization's policies and applicable law.

5.4 Administrators

Administrators manage their Organization's use of the Platform, including user provisioning, configuration, and designation of personnel authorized to receive Flares. Administrator access and responsibilities are further governed by the service agreement between the Organization and Hackworth Labs.

6. Acceptable Use

6.1 Permitted Uses

You may use the Platform only for its intended purpose of educational guidance and college planning support, and in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.

6.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform, other Users' accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the Platform
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Use the Platform to harass, abuse, threaten, or harm another person
• Attempt to circumvent any security features of the Platform
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Platform without our express written permission
• Attempt to probe, manipulate, or "jailbreak" Yuri to produce responses outside its intended purpose
• Share your account credentials with others or allow others to access the Platform using your account

6.3 Guardian-Specific Obligations

Guardians agree not to attempt to access, request, or obtain transcripts or detailed content of their Student's conversations with Yuri. Guardians acknowledge that the limitation on transcript access is designed to support the Student's ability to engage authentically in the college planning process.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Platform Ownership

The Platform, including all software, content, features, functionality, design elements, trademarks, and other intellectual property, is owned by Hackworth Labs or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Platform except for the limited right to use the Platform as expressly provided herein.

7.2 User Data

You retain ownership of any data you provide to the Platform. By using the Platform, you grant Hackworth Labs a limited license to use, process, and store your data solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Platform's services, as further described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Privacy and Conversation Confidentiality

8.1 Privacy Policy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, and protect your information.

8.2 Student Conversation Confidentiality

We believe that Students benefit from having a private space to explore their educational journey. Accordingly, the content of Student conversations with Yuri is treated as confidential. Verbatim conversation transcripts are not retained by the Platform, are not accessible to Guardians, Counselors, or Administrators, and are not reviewed by Hackworth Labs personnel.

The Platform extracts and retains only academic planning signals from conversations—such as expressed interests, colleges researched, and progress toward milestones—without retaining the underlying conversation content.

9. The Flare System: Student Safety

9.1 Purpose

While we are committed to protecting the confidentiality of Student conversations, we also have a responsibility to support Student safety and wellbeing. The Platform includes a Flare system designed to alert qualified personnel at the Student's Organization when Yuri detects conversation topics that may indicate a Student could benefit from human support.

9.2 How Flares Work

When Yuri identifies that a conversation involves topics of potential concern—such as discussions suggesting a Student may be experiencing significant distress or unsafe circumstances—the Platform generates a Flare. A Flare is a structured notification containing the category of concern and timestamp, delivered to personnel designated by the Student's Organization. Flares do not include conversation transcripts or detailed content of what the Student said.

9.3 Organizational Responsibility

Organizations designate qualified personnel—such as school counselors, social workers, or other trained professionals—to receive and act on Flares. The Organization, not Hackworth Labs, is responsible for follow-up with Students and for compliance with applicable mandatory reporting laws and organizational policies.

9.4 Student Acknowledgment

10. Disclaimers

We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information provided through the Platform, including information provided by Yuri.

Yuri is an AI system that may occasionally produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. Users should verify important information—such as application deadlines, admission requirements, and financial aid details—with official sources.

11. Limitation of Liability

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply, and you may have additional rights.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hackworth Labs and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of another; or (d) your conduct in connection with the Platform.

13. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify Users through the Platform or by other means (such as email to the address associated with your account). Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

14. Termination

14.1 Termination by You

You may stop using the Platform at any time. To request deletion of your account and associated data, please contact us at dev@hackworthai.com or through your Organization.

14.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, violation of these Terms, requests by law enforcement, or discontinuation of the Platform.

14.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at dev@hackworthai.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

15.2 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Nashville, Tennessee, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.3 Class Action Waiver

15.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

16.2 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hackworth Labs regarding your use of the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

16.3 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

16.4 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.

16.5 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

16.6 Notices

We may provide notices to you through the Platform, by email to the address associated with your account, or by other reasonable means. You may provide notices to us by contacting us at dev@hackworthai.com.
